Took mine off and to several different dealers when it was leaking and none of them could figure it out. Over inflated it by 20psi and submerged it and it still couldn't be found. Tire had less than a thousand miles on it and finally gave up and put in the tube. Would I do it again you bet if a problem couldn't be located to correct it. Tire now has about 4000 miles on it and works just fine.

I had not thought of a tube yet. Years ago I bought tubes to save some old mudders on a jeep(grew up hunting in Louisiana). I must have got 20k out of those old tires with no leaks EVER so I am a fan of the tube! It is not the valve stem or valve. I'm gonna check the rim today. How hard is it to remove the front tire?

Block it good cause when you remove the wheel the front will be lighter and the bike Will tip down in the back.

Jack it up to just clear the front tire and the back will be a few inches off the ground. Hope you have a jack and adapter. These bikes will tip back when you take anything off the front end so put blocking under the rear wheel to just touch and remove the front tire. Pretty simple if you have the right tools.
